Well, don't count them out just *yet*. A group that I participate in on a separate mailing list has been tracking SR71 airframes. WE discovered 7 or 8 that were not accounted for by known accidents, museum moves, or known storage. So, a member of the group called Beale AFB 9th SRW and pointedly gave them the numbers and asked "where are they". He was told that that information could not be given to him. Keep in mind that a less-than-well-known forward TDY station for SR71's was (supposedly) Incirlik, Turkey. (Hmmm..., isn't that close to Iraq?) :-) If you'd like to have your name added to this mailing group, send mail to skunk-works-request@orchestra.ecn.purdue.edu. User prm (Phil Moyer) is the list admin. and will add you promptly. Currently, FYI, I am posting a series of info. on what happened to all 116 of the B58 Hustlers....... Duane
